18th Street Brewery was founded as a home brewery by Drew Fox in 2010. After years of hands-on learning and exploration, 18th Street Brewery became official with the release of Sinister DIPA in 2013. Shortly after the Sinister release, we opened a 3,200 square foot brewpub in Gary, IN. Quickly outgrowing that space, we purchased a 32,000 square foot warehouse in Hammond, IN. Our Hammond location now houses our production, packaging, barrel program, a taproom and a full service kitchen. Our original Gary, IN now houses a small 10-barrel open fermentation system, as well as a taproom, craft cocktail bar and kitchen.
We are currently the second largest brewery in Northwest Indiana. Our beers range from saisons to double India Pale Ales to double milk stouts to pilsners and lagers. 18th Street is comprised of hard working, motivated individuals who strive to be the best. We love our jobs. We love our beer. We live and love what we do.

shared by jtclockwork-22 bottle-thin white-gold/orange. A-orange/spice. T-orange/floral hops with some bite, med malt. Mouthfeel suffers from the hop oils and low carbonation.

Bomber at rbsg. Pours black with a half finger dark brown head. Aroma of roasty chocolate and coffee with loads of orange citrus. Taste follows suit. Roasty to start with citrus on the end. Full bodied with a slightly creamy texture. Lively carbonation and a very long finish. Overall, awesome. Another homerun from 18th street.

Draft at kryptonite. From notes during screwdrive 2.0. Probably the best beer ive had all day. Orange citrus with a hint of spicy yeast. I could literally drink this all day everyday.

Bottle. - thanks Adam! Pours hazy amber with a small off-white head that dissipates with nice lacing. Aroma is a pleasant citrus/tropical mix, apricot, peach, almost buttery, but not like diacetyl. Flavor is about the same, very flavorful, light sweetness and medium bitterness with a bitter finish. Medium body, buttery mouthfeel. How the hell is this not an IPA? In any case, it is very nice.
